Märzen.
Bitter, spice and wood aroma; bitterish taste with hop, spice, wood
aromas; bitter finish with spice and hop aromas. A soft and subtle
beer. Note that this is for the version served from oak barrels in
the brewery itself. When served by CO2 pressure the beer is not as
good.

Independent brewery. The Egger family, which had owned the brewery, sold
out to Brau-Ag (the forerunner of Brau-Union) in 1976. Unusually, there
was no covenant attached to the sale forbidding the family from re-entering
the industry. In 1977 they began constructing of a brand new brewery, which
brewed its first beer in 1978. Since then, they have built up the company
to be one of Austria's major independent brewers.

Independent brewery. A very interesting brewery, if only for its strange
legal form. In 1263, every house owner in the town was given the right to
brew and sell beer. By the 18th century, the number of citizens still retaining
this privilege had dwindled to 149, but only two brewhouses were operational.
They decided to pool their interests and build a communal brewery, which
was completed in 1780. The brewerey retains this structure today, making
it pretty unusual.
